The methodology is qualitative through the exploratory- description method. The subjects had been nine assisstencial nurses who act in pediatric units of a great hospital of Curitiba-PR wich is reference in the pediatric area in all Brazil. For the collection of the information we used the half-structuralized interview. To accomplish the analysis of the depositions we followed the content analysis proposal by Bardin (1991).
